On the water. Birds. In the car Greta Van Fleat
What are you listening to?
The lyrics thread is fun. Made me go searching for songs I hadnt heard in a long time. 
I'm fortunate in that I can have music on in the background while I work.
Most of it is random from the interwebs....and ive stumbled on quite a few gems.
Like these guys....a groovy Greek jam band called Naxatras.
So....what are you listening to?

I just came upon this guy, Jake Bugg, a few weeks ago. I have played this song over and over:
This is my MAIN site!!! I hold a DOMINATING presence over this website to levels UNSEEN in the internet!!!!!!!!!!
If you're serious that your posted version is better than Van Morrison - okay, musical tastes vary (widely) ;-) Interesting version, I admit.A much better "stranded."
The viceroys and old blues
I hate Van Morrison, one of the truly over-rated musicians of the 20th century. It was all downhill after Brown Eyed Girl.If you're serious that your posted version is better than Van Morrison - okay, musical tastes vary (widely) ;-) Interesting version, I admit.
Funny story, I was in Ireland last spring, and more than once was told, "There are two types of people: People who like Van Morrison, and those who know him." He is widely despised there, maybe because he's a northerner. Amazingly, the favorite musicians in Ireland are dead: Rory Gallagher (people fall to their knees when his name is mentioned), and Phil Lynnott of Thin Lizzy. U2 comes in third. Another widely related joke: "The difference between Bono and God is that God doesn't think he's Bono."
OTOH, The Saints' version is probably the first true punk rock single ever, beating all the British bands.
I saw this band live Sunday, superb show by musicians who must be linked electrically, because their herky-jerky music was always completely in sync. One of the funnest shows I've ever been to, and I have probably been to over a couple thousand (including clubs) in my life. They all had big grins on their faces from beginning to end, they were obviously having so much fun, and the audience felt the same.
And they did an in-studio show at Seattle's KEXP recently:

This punk rocker who hates country music LOVES Dolly Parton. I consider her one of the greatest songwriters of the modern era, and seemingly a really good person, besides. That latter means a lot to me. The vast majority of these uber famous folks are, frankly, assholes.
Yeah, they're not for everyone. My last two shows (both pre-pandemic) were old fart bands:interesting
The Damned with X opening, and
Stiff Little Fingers with SF punk legends The Avengers opening.
The Damned played Machine Gun Etiquette and they were great. X seemed lifeless, but Billy Zoom (who has to sit down because of back issues) was good. But the Damned were far better.
SLF was okay, painful for me to admit, as their first album is on my Top Five list, but the guitar was far too trebly, and how long can you keep singing about The Troubles in Northern Ireland? The Avengers were superb, the best of these four groups. Their guitarist (Greg Ingraham) had the best sound. Interesting fact: their original bassist (James Calvin Wilsey) was the guitar player on the early Chris Isaak albums, unique sound. He died of a heroin overdose under an underpass, penniless and homeless.
But Otoboke Beaver was even better.
It goes to show us that taste in music is an individual preference. Personally, if U2 comes on a playlist, I change channels. ;-)I hate Van Morrison, one of the truly over-rated musicians of the 20th century. It was all downhill after Brown Eyed Girl.

it's a wanda jackson kind of day
I'm a little older than most of you. I only listen to 60's, and 70's rock with a little late 50's, and early 80's thrown in. The Boss, Neil Young, Bob Dylan, Police, Dire Straits, Fats Domino, etc!
Oh, and especially Van Morrison!
